Taking the name from a book by Aleister Crowley the one woman project from Milwaukee, Wisconsin delivers a haunting cello and piano based album of droning melancholy. The subdued anguish of this release comes to the fore on third track " Salt, Sulfur, Mercury". While relatively short I would hesitate to call this an EP as the emotional ride is intense and exhausting and the listener is left wanting more but relieved that the sadness has quieted. This is the only thing I know that Jess M has created but I long for more.
